The sad thing is that this didn’t surprise me one bit. In fact, it’s quite tame behaviour compared with what has become ‘the norm’ in the Lake District post-covid.

Nor me, in the slightest. I've been going on for years about how much attention is lavished on Stonehenge by the frightfully concerned 'Range Rover' protesters... while the damage at a myriad other sites seems to be increasing exponentially - in particular through moronic trail bike damage and the pathetic walker vandalism of upland cairns - without any comment. I try not to take it personally and just highlight stuff as and when on my own little YouTube slot where someone might stumble across it.
To be frank, it does seem that moral standards in society are in terminal decline when even people who profess to value Nature have no idea what damage they are doing/simply don't care. There's very little we can do... tell a moron you believe he/she is a moron... and they simply do not care. I guess all we can do is be a problem to those people
Nor me, I'm afraid; as a person with some involvement in looking after Glastonbury Tor, I can tell you that many of our self-styled 'spiritual' visitors clearly don't give a s**t about what they leave behind them after performing their rituals or whatever. I know it's probably only a small minority but it seems to me the lack of consideration in how these sites are treated is getting more pronounced.
